Former Vice President and climate-change crusader Al Gore threw his full support behind incoming Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’ ‘Green New Deal’ proposal Wednesday; saying the initiative would “create jobs” and promote “sustainable solutions.”

“About to bring our 8th annual #24HoursofReality to a close with my strong support for a #GreenNewDeal, which will create jobs, invest in the right sustainable solutions & protect the health of those most vulnerable,” tweeted Gore.
